It turns out Estée Lauder's Pure Color llluminating Powder Gelée Blush in Tease ($40) for Spring 2013 is an online exclusive. I received mine over a week ago and swooned. I have waited for sunshine to get swatch photos and that finally happened today. I'm as happy as a pup with two tails.

As fans of Estée Lauder's llluminating Powder Gelée products would expect, this blush - Tease - is a high-polish, luminous, and silky blush. The Tri-blend formula provides powder, gel, and liquid in one. Tease is said to offer a flush of soft, sexy color and an innocent glow.

You can build the color to a high-sheen, daring highlight or use it sparely - demurely - for a stunning blush. The pink sing spring, and the shimmering finish whispers, "Look at me."

This gorgeous color, from the Pure Color Pretty Naughty Collection by Tom Pecheux, applies like a dream. You can use the applicator supplied (it's like a giant sponge applicator), or you can use a brush. For my swatch photos, I applied it with its own brush. I took my photos in full, glorious sunshine.

I love everything about this illuminating blush - the color, the finish, the look, the application - everything. It continues my passion for Estée Lauder's llluminating Powder Gelée product. They are as pretty as it gets.

While Tease is a spring color, I'm already wearing it. It's extraordinarily flattering. it's a warm pink with a sheen that's perfect Don't miss out on this limited edition, thinking it's going to magically appear at your favorite Estée Lauder counter. Apparently, that's not going to happen. I know some of you have been waiting to see swatch photos. Now that you have, order it online before it sells out. It will.

Yeah, I am only concerned because if I don't like it I think you have to pay for return shipping and wait 7-10 days...but from what I have seen I feel like I will probably not regret it so I think I will just go ahead and order tonight from their website just to err on the side of caution.

I have this one loved how different it is.the only thing I don't like is it has no staying power it only last about two hours on my skin.i thought about sending it back I just can't its that beautiful.do anybody have have ideas on how to make it last longer.
